si me dieran un peso por cada servicio que he tenido que reparar por problemas de comunicación con con #airtable tendría suficiente para comprarme un chocolate.
Ahora, no me dan un peso, sino de hecho varios miles de pesos, entonces no solo me alcanza para comprarme un chocolate, sino una dotación anual de Turin seguramente.
Gracias, devs que saltaron al tren del #serverless#headless y otros lesses por darme de comer. 🙏
Sudden realization: the new Properties feature in #Obsidian may let me do more Airtable-y things (eg, tab/type completion for fields/values) than I currently get by using #Dataview inline-fields.
Until now I only ever used the properties for aliases, and kept it set to 'Source' view as it's faster to bang them out that way.
But assuming Dataview can query properties as well as it queries its own fields (99% sure), it seems like a no-brainer. Especially as I bet the devs will keep improving.
So far the only obvious problem I foresee with #Obsidian properties is that the value completion maps to the property name, which is global. I obviously get why this is, but it means that it's not a 1:1 mapping to what I do in #Airtable.
Eg, “Status" fields - those differ for each base in Airtable since the 'status' of an eg tea merchant will differ from how I categorize eg martial arts films.
In Obsidian, completion will mix those all up. Not world-ending, but still friction.
Getting reasonably deep in the #Obsidian#DataView#JavaScript weeds. Very big “treating flat files as a database” vibes, because that's literally what's going on.
I /kinda/ dig it, since DataView means I’m just arranging inline fields in my prose documents as desired, vs being tightly constrained within a literal database or spreadsheet (or #Airtable). In the latter setup I would have to cram all the non-field Markdown content into a "notes" field or whatever.
I'm looking for someone to help me with an #Airtable base I've created. I have tasks that have a % field to show progress toward completion, I'd like to have that pull from another table in the base to tally the % of progress based on the # of subtasks completed. I feel pretty sure this would be relatively easy to do for someone who knows Airtable well. I can pay someone (not much!) for help with this.
My number one request for the iPhone 16 camera has got to be the ability for the main lens to focus much closer than it does now. Feels like it’s gotten much worse since they added the 48MP sensor last year, but maybe I’m making that up.
@matt I just wish that third party apps with built in barcode scanners (looking at you #Airtable!) would finally realise that there is a macro mode that can be used!
I’m planning to build a workflow to share interesting links to a couple of different platforms. Sometimes here, sometimes a couple of Slack channels, Discord, a #linkblog, etc.
But still undecided on where I should save the links to be shared. Two requirements:
I must be able to add a bit of text, for my comment on the link, and also have a way to tell Make where the link should be shared. Like tags, checkboxes for different platforms, or some other way.
Low-friction points process to save new links, with the needed metadata, from both iOS and MacOS.
Django 5.0 :django: allows creation of database generated fields! 🤯 This is another astonishing ORM feature in the upcoming release 📦 Many thanks to Jeremy Nauta and @lilyf for their great efforts 🦸 💚 #django#python#release
@felixxm@lilyf amazing! I was just looking for this feature and was surprised it didn't seem exist. It'll help a lot if I ever move my #Airtable stuff into a custom #Django setup.
I regularly post questions of the day on a variety of subjects (thank you #neurodivergent#brain) but I'm making this one a question of the year bc it is that fundamental to my success as a person.
The reward for contributing meaningful (or humorous) answers to this question will be my sincere appreciation (valued at $0.02 USD).
THE QUESTION:
How can I seamlessly integrate a "lite" tool that operates across platforms (Windows, Linux, Android atm) into my second
I liked because it allows me to display multiple categories of tasks visually, simultaneously but which feels heavy in the #browser, isn't super easy to utilize on #mobile, and when used in this way lacks ease of sorting, etc.
I'm currently experiment with #Airtable which provides some of the sorting, etc. but I'm not a fan of it's closed source, heavy feel.
I'm also experimenting with #Obsidian's #canvas and need to dive into it more deeply, I've used various #MindMapping software but
Chalk up another win for #Obsidian + #DataView. Have a nice little page with embedded lists of:
actual orphans: pages that exist but have no wikilinks in or out
near-orphans: orphans that may have links, but only inwards from daily notes (ie: I made them when I dreamt them up during journaling, but forgot to link them elsewhere in my mind map!)
"figments": uncreated pages that are aspirationally linked somewhere (including from journal entries).
@joe_no_body it's dope, I'm also using it for things like categorizing per-contractor pages, book tracking, etc. essentially the kinds of things I used to do in #Airtable. yea it's slightly more work than the latter, but I get all the usual benefits of "it's data in obsidian" (local, text, etc).
I'm even able to make reusable snippets by loading a .js file (dataviewjs inside it) that references the "current page" syntax. hey presto, a one-liner on each page to get a customized list of whatever.
It is honestly going to be so sweet when I get this merged back and up on CRAN. The packages is nearing full coverage of the non-Enterprise API and is IMHO so easy to work with. #RStats#Airtable
